If the company that holds my mortgage goes belly up, what happens next? Does someone else buy the mortgage? And how would this affect me as the homeowner?

I own property with 2 other people. We have no written contract, etc., but just equally pay the mortgage. Two of us now want to sell the property, but one person refuses to. Do we have any legal remedies?
Thanks!

I am interested in obtaining a mortgage broker license and would like to start a business from home. I would like to find someone who can teach me the business or find out how I can learn the business, so that I don’t have to work for a mortgage company.

KL asked: Is this the correct formula for the tax deduction:
Tax rate of 38.5% times all the mortgage interest I paid in the past year?
Also, If I owe $100 in taxes but my deduction is $125 (based on formula above) does that mean the govt. will send me a check for $25?
